Risk factors & Management’s perception about the risksAn investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. The company is operating in an industry involving both external and internal risk factors having direct as well as indirect effects on the investments by the investors. All investors should carefully consider all of the information in this Prospectus, including the risk factors, both external and internal, and management perception thereabout enumerated hereunder before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occur, their business, results of operations and fi nancial condition could suffer, the trading price of their equity shares could decline, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.
(a) Interest rate risks
Interest rate risk is concerned with borrowed funds of short term and long-term maturity. Interest rate risk is the risk that company faces due to unfavorable movements in the interest rates. Volatility in money market and increased demand for loans/investment funds raise the rate of interest. A change in the Government’s monetary policy also tends to increase the interest rates. High rate of interest enhances the cost of fund of a company and could adversely affect the business and future fi nancial performance. Such rises in interest rates mostly affect companies having fl oating rate loans.
Management perception
RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited is cash rich company and operates with low independence on long term debt. Company maintains low debt/equity ratio, adverse impact of interest rate fl uctuation is insignifi cant. The project was started with company own funds and expanded the capacity with own funds. Additionally, the management of the company emphasizes on equity based fi nancing to reduce the dependency on borrowings. Therefore, management perceives that the fl uctuation of interest rate on borrowing would have little impact upon the performance of the company.
(b) Exchange rate risks
Exchange rate risk is quite relevant for RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited since a large proportion of its raw materials need to be imported from abroad. The Company imports raw materials against payment of foreign currency and the price of raw material in the international market is relatively volatile. Unfavorable volatility or currency fl uctuation may affect the profi tability of the Company. If exchange rate is increased against local currency opportunity will be created for generating more profi t.
Trend Setters
15Prospectus
Management perception
Volatility of Taka against Dollar and recent trend of local currency devaluation may expose foreign currency risk. In such cases, the management of the company is confi dent to signifi cantly cushion the foreign currency risk and price escalation risk through forward contracts if it is justifi able in terms of the cost benefi t analysis. The company has been hedging exchange rate risk by strategic purchases of raw materials, consumables & forward booking of foreign currency. The parent Company has database of over 2500 suppliers all over the world with whom they are dealing for more than last 15 years, normally parent company does a global resource planning exercise on monthly basis which takes care of resource procurement schedules, currency fl uctuation escalation factor.
(c) Industry risks
Industry risk refers to the risk of increased competition from foreign and domestic sources leading to lower prices, revenues, profi t margins, market share etc. which could have an adverse impact on the business, fi nancial condition and results of operation. Ceramic industry in Bangladesh is an emerging sector with vast local demand for its differentiated product lines. Locally produced ceramics products now play a signifi cant role in this sector, which has being dominated by imports in the past.
Management perception
RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited is known in the market as innovative technology driven capital intensive company, it has track record to upkeep with technology investment which proven them as trend setters. Also due to its superior quality and competitive pricing, wide variety of product range, RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited has been able to capture a dominant position in the market and has a brand equity presence in the local market. The company is continuously working on product development through research and development (R&D), improved designs and service to keep pace with the customer choices, fashion and design. The company being a market leader in the ceramic tiles and sanitary ware products in Bangladesh has already captured over one fourth of the tiles market and more than two third of the sanitary ware market. As a result, company is quite well insulated from the risks of greater competition from both local and foreign sources.
With strong brand equity, the management is confi dent that the new entrants will not be a considerable threat for the company. Being the market leader with the best quality product, operational effi ciency, organized marketing and distribution network, there is little opportunity for others to become a signifi cant competitor. Use of tiles becomes necessity in absence of any other alternate product and due to technological revolution, hygiene, homogenous matters, age over pitfalls of traditional marbles & stones. It has become priority of literate segment in urban and semi-urban areas to use ceramics & homogenous tiles due to its better excelled tested & recognized norms of international technical parameters, to name a few terms- water absorption, surface fl atness, linear thermal expansion, modulus of rapture, resistance to absorption & thermal shocks

The reforming budget for 2009-10 has introduced various schemes for housing and realty sector which will strengthen tiles and sanitary ware demand in coming years. The silent features of provisions of Finance Budget 2009-2010 having positive impact on Tiles and sanitary ware products summarized as follows:
a) Vision 2021: Government shall provide accommodation for all by 2021. As a preliminary step, the ministry of Housing and Public works has worked out to develop 22,800 plots and construct 26,000 apartments in the next 3 years for lower and middle income group.
b) Government has taken the steps to revise National Housing Policy, 1999 to make housing and construction activities safer, sustainable and streamlined.
c) Acceptance of investment incurred for the purchase of fl at or construction of house without any question by paying a tax at the specifi ed rate.
d) To discourage import of tiles and sanitary ware items supplementary duty on imports increased to 45% in place of existing 20%.
e) Targeted GDP growth rate 10% by 2017 and share of industry 40% in place of existing 28%
(d) Market Risks
Market risk refers to the risk of adverse market conditions affecting the sales and profi tability of the company. Mostly, the risk arises from falling demand for the product or service which would harm the performance of the company. On the other hand, strong marketing and brand management would help the company increase their customer base.
Management perception
RAK has strong brand equity in the local market and due to their foreign affi liation; they are able to produce quality products at affordable prices. Moreover, for a growing economy like Bangladesh, there would always be demand for Tiles and Sanitary Ware. The recent movement of the Government to permit the more in the housing sector will also roar the ceramic industry as a result RAK is expecting to have a signifi cant market share in the upcoming days. Additionally, RAK is continuously penetrating new markets and developing new products to minimize the risk. The real estate developers have contributed immensely to the growing urbanization of the country. The fi nancing provided by the specialized house fi nance institutions, multi product fi nancial institutions and banks have provided a fi llip to the real estate industry and, in tandem with the real estate developers contributed to a boom in the sector. This scenario is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the demand for tiles & sanitary wares in the country will continue to increase signifi cantly. The industry friendly reformist budget for 2009-10 has introduced various schemes for housing and real estate sector which will strengthen construction & contracting sector demand in coming years.

Technology always plays a vital role for the existence of any industrial concern, ensuring better services to the customers and minimizing the cost in various aspects. The production facilities of the company are based on currently available technology. Any invention of new and more cost effective technology may cause technological obsolescence and negative operational effi ciency. Any serious defects in the plant and machinery may affect production and profi tability calling for additional investment for replacement.
Management perception
RAK is continuously upgrading its technological levels and making it comparable to that of any other country. Establishment of new technology, on a regular basis substantially reduces cost & risk factors. RAK Ceramics has been known as modern technology and state of the art facilities with R&D infrastructure and shall be able to adapt to any new inventions with moderate investments. It uses latest Italian technology for its Tiles & sanitary ware production and also has a very modern testing lab. The Company has access to international/multinational companies for supplying appropriate technology and technical management support for operation of new projects & its foreign affi liation with RAK Ceramics PSC, UAE for technical know-how and technical assistance, the company is expected to be always ahead of the other producers in the local market which ultimately reduces the technology related risks for the company.
(f) Potential or Existing Government Regulations
The Company operates under Companies Act 1994 and other related regulations, Income Tax Ordinance 1984, Income Tax Rules 1984, Value Added Tax (VAT) Act 1991 and Value Added Tax (VAT) Rules 1991. Any abrupt changes of the policies made by the regulatory authorities may adversely affect the business of the Company.
Management perception
Unless any policy change that may negatively and materially affect the industry as a whole, the business of the Company is expected not to be affected signifi cantly. Ceramic industry in Bangladesh is an emerging sector with considerable local demand for differentiated product lines. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the Government will initiate any fi scal measure having adverse effect on the growth of the industry.
(g) Potential changes in Global or National Policies
Changes in the existing global or national policies can have either positive or negative impacts for the company. Any scarcity or price hike of raw materials due to changes in policy in the international market might hamper the production and profi tability. Furthermore, the performance of the company would also be hampered due to unavoidable circumstances both in Bangladesh and worldwide like political turmoil. Since the risk involved with the potential changes in global or
Trend Setters
18 Prospectus
national policies is a macro factor, it is beyond the capability of RAK to control.
Management perception
The management of RAK Ceramics is always concerned about the prevailing and upcoming future changes in the global or national policy and shall response appropriately and timely to safeguard its interest. Due to the strong brand equity of the company in the local market; and deep and profound knowledge the company will always endeavor to withstand the unexpected changes or any such potential threats. Nevertheless, political stability and a congenial business environment is defi nitely the best situation in which RAK will achieve its maximum potential. Political turmoil and the disturbance are bad for the economy as a whole and so also for the company. Government fi scal budget 2009-10 has provision to discourage imported goods & support to local manufacturer, Targeted GDP growth rate 10% by 2017 and share of industry 40% in place of existing 28% will further boost the industrial development.
(h) History of Non Operation:
There is no history of non-operation in case of RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited since its commercial operation started. To overcome such risk in future, RAK has its own power backup, own water supply system and scientifi c inventory management system, which will reduce the risk.
(i) Operational Risks:
In order to minimize the operational risks due to shortage of power supply, RAK has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement with one of the sister concern of the Group Company named RAK Power Private Limited which is engaged in generation of power towards exclusive use into RAK Ceramics.
(j) Management risk:
Turnover of key managerial personnel, executives and offi cers may have adverse impact on business, operating results and future growth.
Management perception
The Company places high priority in developing human resources. Importance is given to relevant on-the-job, in-house and external training programmes, so that the people are well equipped with necessary skills. In line with these beliefs, RAK has been offering competitive package to its employees of all ranks to encourage professionalism, stimulate team-work and promote innovation reinforced with high ethical standards. The company has reputation for cordial and congenial working environment. The staff turnover ratio is at its lowest point. The company has been arranging training of its core personnel on a continuous basis to cope with the growing challenges of the changing work environment, increase in customer expectations and growing sophistication of technology and processes. Succession strategy of the company develops alternative leaderships in all areas of its
Trend Setters
19Prospectus
activities. Therefore, the management of RAK feels that company is well prepared to handle the situation in the foreseeable future.
(k) Distribution risk
For any company, the most crucial wing is the distribution channel. Wide distribution network and control over the network is essential to make the quality product available to the consumer at right time and price.
Management perception:
RAK has strong presence in all over the country and for this purpose it has appointed 98 dealers for tiles and sanitary ware separately all over the country in urban & rural areas to sell the products of the company to ultimate customers.
(l) Risk associated with labour unrest:
Smooth production is dependent on good relationship with the factory workers and their ability to provide high-quality services. In the event of disagreements with the workers, the company may experience adverse impact.
Management perception:
RAK maintains good atmosphere at the work place and provides all sort of facilities to the workers as per law of the land. The work force is well remunerated and most of them live in the surrounding areas or well equipped company provided accommodation facilities. So, it is unlikely for them to create such unrest. The company has healthy remuneration and welfare policies of the company for its human resources, which may reduce the risk of labor unrest. Again, to meet unique situations, company has alternative ways to overcome such critical circumstances.
(m) Input risk:
RAK is greatly dependent on imported raw materials and also, supply of those raw materials cannot be ensured locally in case of crisis. Additionally, there is always a natural resources constraint in any specifi c area. Moreover, the local sources of raw material may be affected by any uncontrollable event or country risk to transaction or political barrier.
Management perception:
RAK is currently importing major raw materials from overseas based on quality and competitive prices. RAK has diversifi ed sources to procure raw material and it is able to utilize the sources of parent Company RAK Ceramics PSC, UAE. RAK has backward integrated ventures which are always on task to globally source alternative sources. It has highly qualifi ed R&D team at head quarter which is capable to alternative combination, mix to mitigate/absorb input price/source risk. Therefore, the
Trend Setters
20 Prospectus
operational risk involved with the input materials is insignifi cant for the company. The management perceives raw material risk to be a manageable risk as the company has sustainable margin of safety.
(n) Risk associated with capital market:
An active trading market for RAK’s shares may not develop. The prices of their shares on the Stock Exchanges may fl uctuate as a result of several factors, including:
Volatility in the Dhaka and Chittagong securities markets.
Results of operations and performance, in terms of market share.
Performance of Bangladesh economy and changes in government policies.
Changes in future business operation and expansion of RAK’s business.
Management perception:
Bangladesh capital market in last two years has grown signifi cantly. Experts view the Bangladesh market as one of the emerging markets in Asia. Moreover, the company has been showing steady earnings growth since its inception, and, therefore, the chance of adverse fl uctuation in its market price because of the change in the performance of the company is remote. The Government has taken the development of securities market as a challenge and initiated a number of market friendly policies. Therefore, management expects that the market will be gradually matured and stabilized. Management also expects that the forthcoming developments in fi scal and environmental regulations will make the market more buoyant.

The company grown up its revenue and net profi tability at compounded annual growth rate of 33.26% and 26.83% respectively. The company becomes market leader in ceramic tiles and sanitary ware products in Bangladesh. The key reason for such jump in market share is basically aggressive approach in marketing to the satisfaction of customer having availability of product in the market.
The company’s revenue increased 39% in the year 2008 and 19.5% in the year 2007 compared to the previous years respectively. But the net profi t after tax of the company slide by 5% in 2008 compared to the previous year. The reason for such decline is the increased cost of sales which has increased by over 5% to sales as compared to the previous year cost of sales to turnover. The increased costs of the goods are attributed to foreign currency volatility in 2008 (USD & GBP) and related impact on imported raw materials. Besides the increased costs of goods sold; the administrative and marketing expenses are in tandem with turnover increase as 39.08% to turnover and the interest expense of the company increased due to lending rates volatility in international & local money market which has contributed to slide in net profi t of the company.

Determination of offering price
Preamble:The common postulation is that market, despite its regular price variations, provides better value judgment of a security over a reasonable time period. Additionally, market provides approximately a consensus value of securities in perspective of their respective risk and growth potentials. Another common postulation is that non-speculative investors may not be inclined to pay more for an asset than its underlying value. However, the perception of worth would vary among the investors, depending on present circumstances and also future expectations, as well as their objective for the particular acquisition, we have taken a general approach of valuation, primarily from institutional investor’s viewpoint in determining the acceptable price.

65Prospectus
In view of the above, we have concluded that relative valuation would be the most suitable approach for determining RAK price. For determination of an appropriate primary valuation method for a company, it requires profound knowledge on several factors including economic climate, the stages of development of the company, the position of the company in the market, industry life cycle, nature of production, production cycle, the situation of the stock market and the prospect of the sector in which the company operates.
Business Attributes of RAK:After thorough analysis it has appeared to us that the Ceramic Industry (tiles and sanitary wares) is highly capital intensive and a company requires continuous investment and innovation to maintain its growth. RAK has been consistently maintaining the strategic investment requirements to support its growth and to secure market share. The following section highlights the investment and business nature of the company.
Backbone Investment PhaseIn order to establish a sustainable business, initial capital investment in ceramic industry is very imperative. The ceramic industry requires massive capital investment in plant and machinery in order to manufacture a wide variety of products to cater the end users. Optimum sizing of various machineries and their combination are important aspects of design of ceramic ware. The production stages of tiles and sanitary wares are very extensive and also expensive.
RAK started its operation with investing in range of sophisticated machineries optimally suited to manufacture high quality products and resources to manage continuous operation. This has enabled RAK to develop a strong base of designs and extensive range of formulations to successfully develop products. The investment pattern and growth during the initial phase of operation has been stated in the following table:

Investment for Expansion
The level of investment corresponds to the quality, reliability and fl exibility of machineries required to produce the desired level of products. Recurring investment is required for innovative product development, progression in technology, and strengthening marketing efforts. The production process needs to be fl exible in order to meet the rapidly changing customer preference. RAK usually integrates latest technology in order to manufacture customized products according to the customer demand. RAK has been enjoying competitive edge over other companies due to the fl exible but robust technological infrastructure. The company has increased its production capacity of tiles from 8,000 sq.m. to 22,000 sq.m. per day and 1,000 pieces to 2,500 pieces per day for sanitary wares. The company is currently enjoying a market share of 22.97% in the ceramic industry. The continuous investment has supported the company to achieve a CAGR turnover of 33.26% over the last eight years of operation. The investment pattern of the company since inception is represented in the following table:

Technological Supremacy
In order to maintain a sustainable business growth, RAK consistently employs differentiating technology to have a competitive advantage over its competitors. RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited is known in the market as innovative technology driven company. It has track record of investment in technology, production process and capacity expansion. RAK develops innovative products applying its in-house knowledge base and professional expertise to meet market expectation. The ceramic industry requires continuous capital investment in technology for providing diversifi ed products mainly to address the following aspects:
Rapidly Expanding Demand: Global tiles market size is growing signifi cantly and several factors also support the growth in the country. The recent declaration of the government to provide accommodation for all by 2021 and allowing the undisclosed money to invest in the real estate sector will support the growth of RAK. The high population growth of the country and the adoption of more expensive life will increase the demand for tiles and sanitary wares. The recent imposition of 45% from 20% supplementary duty on imported tiles and sanitary wares will increase the demand for local products. In order to maintain international standard, the company will presumably require additional investment in technology to meet the demand of high-end users who previously have been depended on imported products.
Cost Effi ciency: Twin Press is a double pressing technology which allows RAK to enjoy cost effi ciency in terms of fuel consumption through enhancing operational capabilities.
Other Aspects: The company intends to invest in technology to focus on other aspects such as brand positioning, product leadership, ability to deliver wide range of customer requirements at lower service costs, international product acceptance, etc.
Competitive Edge through Expansion of Capacity or Investment in Technology The competitive edge of the company is its ability to produce widest range and high quality of products in the local factory. RAK supersedes other peer companies of the similar industry in three aspects: (i) technology and quality; (ii) strong resolve and astute leadership; and (iii) the intellectual property. over the time, the company has invested in some sophisticated machineries such as Twin

Press, Double Charge, Roto Printing Machines, Special Printing Machines (Digital), which made RAK more competent in the ceramic industry to compete with other local manufacturers.
Valuation of RAK ShareBased on the above analysis it has appeared that P/BV valuation would be the most appropriate relative valuation method for a capital intensive company like RAK. Therefore, we are considering valuation based on P/BV to be the primary valuation Method for the company. However, we have also applied other suitable and frequently referred methods, i.e. valuation based on P/E Multiple
and Dividend Discount Model (DDM), to have full spectrum of valuations.
A. Primary Valuation Method: Valuation based on P/BV multiple of similar stocksThe average NAV growth rate of RAK over the last fi ve years was 18.77%. The increasing trend of NAV per share refl ects that RAK has been consistently investing in fi xed assets, which is extremely important to maintain profi t growth in a rapidly fl uctuating business environment. Considering the capital intensive nature of RAK, NAV would be a powerful indicator of profi tability and sustainability of the company. Therefore, an acceptable value may be derived by multiplying NAV by a representative P/BV multiple.
We have adopted following measures to fi nd out the representative Price/Book Value (P/BV) for RAK valuation:
1. We have analyzed the distribution of P/BV multiples of the companies listed with Bangladesh stock exchange(s) categorized under different pertinent parameters. A company may appear in more than one category if it qualifi es to be included in those categories.
2. We have considered only manufacturing and marketing companies in each category to make the comparison more relevant.
3. In order to remove the impact of regular price variations we have considered six months’ average price of the comparables in determination of their P/BV multiples covering a period of January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009. The price of the comparables at Dhaka Stock Exchange is used for the purpose.
4. During the selection of P/BV multiple, we have set a cut-off value at 7.14 which is 100% higher than the market P/BV multiple of 3.571 as on June, 2009. During the calculation of market P/BV, we have considered only the companies listed with Dhaka Stock Exchange having positive book value.

B. Other Valuation Methods
(i) Valuation based on P/E multiple of similar stocks
As the stock price is determined by the future earning power of a company, general investors of our capital market widely use Earning per Share (EPS) and Price Earning (P/E) multiple as one of the determinants of price of a stock. Furthermore, P/E multiple remains relatively stable compared to absolute price movement of a stock in the market. Therefore, we have derived the price of RAK through multiplying actual EPS of the company with an acceptable and representative P/E multiple of the comparable companies.
Assumptions:
We have adopted the following measures to fi nd out the representative P/E multiple for RAK valuation:
1. We have analyzed the distribution of P/E multiples of the companies listed with Bangladesh stock exchanges categorized under different pertinent parameters. A company may appear in more than one category if it qualifi es to be included in those categories.
2. We have considered only manufacturing and marketing companies in each category to make the comparison more relevant.
3. In order to remove the impact of regular price variations we have considered six months’ average price of the comparables in determination of their P/E multiples covering a period of January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009. The price of the comparables at Dhaka Stock Exchange is used for the purpose.
4. During the selection of P/E multiple, we have set a cut-off value of 27.66 which is 50% higher than the Market P/E multiple of 18.443 as on June, 2009 since market P/E ratio is a good representation of the overall market condition. To enhance the comparability, we have eliminated companies with outsized P/E multiple above the cut-off value, which may distort the normal distribution of P/E ratios, from each category, if there was any.
5. As there is no true comparable company to RAK listed with the Bangladesh Stock Exchange(s), we have considered all the listed companies in the ceramic sector under ceramic industry. The P/E ratio of listed ceramic companies was much higher than the cut-off value and the above-mentioned criteria for selecting P/E multiple was not applicable for the companies under this category.
6. The last reported full year EPS of the companies are considered in measuring P/E multiples. In case of companies under “Ceramic Industry”, we have considered their annualized EPS based on their latest EPS declaration.
7. Finally, the representative P/E multiple is determined by calculating the weighted average P/E ratio of the average P/E multiples of each category of comparables.
The following tables illustrate the average P/E multiples of various categories of comparable stocks:

RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited. The projected fi nancials duly verifi ed by the auditors and dividend policy has been presented in Annexure I.
Assumptions:
1. Required Rate of Return (RRR) is assumed at 12.00% while the risk-free rate is around 10%. 2. The dividend payout ratio is assumed to be 80% for the year 2009, 2010 and 2011. The
perpetual payout ratio is assumed to be 40%.3. Perpetual growth rate is determined by multiplying the average Return on Equity (ROE) for the
last three years by the projected retention rate. Determining Adjusted DPS and Present Value of Dividends

Determination of Indicative Fair Price:
The offer price of RAK is derived under different applicable valuation methods. Finally, the fair value of RAK share is derived by calculating the weighted average price of the fair values derived under different valuation techniques. Since, RAK has appeared to be a capital intensive company, highest weight is assigned to the price derived through Primary Valuation Method and equal weights are assigned to the prices derived through other valuation technique.

The above table shows that the estimated fair price of RAK is Tk. 41.06. RAK in association with IDLC Finance Limited, the lead Issue Manager, and BRAC EPL Investments Limited, the Joint Issue Manager, has the Indicative Price at Tk. 40.
Additional Justifi cations to the Indicative Price
1. During the last fi ve years, RAK has experienced signifi cant growth in revenue and earnings. The half yearly revenue of this year was 25.90% higher than that of the previous year. The company is expected to have a profi table business in this year due to the positive impact of the recently declared Budget 2009-10 and the declining price of raw materials in the International Market. Considering all the internal and external factors, a conservative approach has been taken during the future projection of RAK earnings. The industry and business outlook of the company reveal that the company will continue to maintain above industry-average growth during the next several years as a market leader.
2. The NAV per share of RAK grew at a steady rate since inception. The NAV per share of the company grew by 95.55% in last fi ve years. The increasing trend of NAV represents that the company always focused in maintaining a strong asset base which increased their investment opportunities to support their expansion plan. As RAK is the market leader in the ceramic sector of the country, it is expected that the company will further expand its business resulting into higher turnover, earnings and NAV.
3. RAK is the market leader in the ceramic industry with strong brand equity. The company is maintaining a strong equity base and enjoys a wide diversifi cation of products currently. All

these factors contribute to the company’s strength of generating substantial revenue. Rationally, the company is adjudged as modest risk, high-safety and investment-grade rating of AA+5 , which is a very high rating for any manufacturing company in Bangladesh. However, such a low-risk company may attract high P/E multiple in the capital market.
Conclusion:
From the above justifi cations, it may be seen that the Indicative Price is reasonably set considering the net asset value, future earning power, and risk aspects of the company. One point that needs to be mentioned here is that valuation is not timeless. However, we reasonably expect that the value that we have derived for RAK will remain valid for next twelve (12) months.

CRISL has assigned “AA+” (pronounced as double A plus) rating in the Long Term and “ST-1” rating in the Short Term to RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited (hereinafter referred “RAKCBL”) based on fi nancials and other relevant quantitative and qualitative information. The above ratings have been done on the basis of its good fundamentals such as sound equity based capital structure, strong operational and strategic support from parent, State-of-The-Art production facilities, good debt servicing coverage, outstanding business growth, strong brand image, global outlook etc. However, the ratings are constrained by limited delegation to local management, signifi cant working capital requirement due to low inventory turnover, limited modern HR practice, recent fall in cost effi ciency etc.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be of high quality, offer higher safety and have high credit quality. This level of rating indicates a corporate entity with a sound credit profi le without signifi cant problems. Risk factors are modest and may vary slightly from time to time because of economic conditions. The short term rating indicates highest certainly of timely repayment of obligation.

parent it has build a strong brand image and captured 25% of local tiles market and 60% of sanitary ware market. State-Of-The-Art production facilities, diversifi ed product portfolio and market leadership are considered as competitive advantages for the company. Due to its rapid growth over last eight years, the revenue of the company reached to Tk. 3,247.99 million in FY2008 (Tk. 1,910.35 million in 1H of FY2009) from Tk. 2,335.39 million in FY2007 registering 39.08% growth. The after-tax profi t reached to Tk. 286.40 million in FY2008 (Tk. 142.46 million in 1H of FY2009) from Tk. 302.57 million in FY2007.

10.0 RISK MANAGEMENT
10.1 Gas Supply RiskTiles and sanitary ware products need a certain standard level of temperature to get expected quality regarding color, size, surface and strength etc. Tiles products need average temperature of 11800 Celsius and sanitary ware products need on an average 12000 Celsius. RAKCBL has agreement with Titas Gas, a government enterprise for uninterrupted supply. At present, for tiles division, required standard pressure is 18-20 psi and for sanitary ware division, it is 22 psi. Presently the company is having constant supply from Titas Gas of 21.5 psi. Company has ability to tackle pressure movement scenarios in acceptable adequacy level so as not to suffer in signifi cant manner on production or quality front. Moreover, the plant is set up with dual fi ring system inter-changeable with LPG in case of non-availability of natural gas.

Credit Rating Report on RAK Ceramics (Bangladesh) Limited10.2 Competition Risk / Market Risk
Bangladesh has high potential for ceramic tiles market. Already 11 players are in the industry and RAKCBL is lead player in the market. However, the entry barrier in the market is not acute and several tiles companies are in pipeline to commence production in upcoming years. New competitors will create healthy competition to the company to maintain/ grow its present market share. The company will withstand competition due to its recognition as innovative technology driven products. However, in sanitary wares market, RAKCBL holds 2/3rd share, has no major domestic competition except few importers. In fi nance budget 2009-10, supplementary duty on imported material of tiles and sanitary has been increased to 45% from 20%, which will widen the market share of local manufacturers. In current scenario in the market, the company is placed at advantageous position.
10.3 Raw Material RiskRAKCBL sources its basic raw materials for ceramic as well as gres porcelain tiles & sanitary wares from all over the globe. Supply of these raw materials cannot be ensured locally. The company is benefi ted by the channels of sources raw materials through its parent company as well as it has its own sources from different countries like Italy, Indonesia, Malaysia, Spain and India. Moreover, the company recently started sourcing by own initiative from different foreign suppliers other than parent’s selected suppliers. Import based supplies are likely to be affected by any uncontrollable event or country risk to transaction or political barrier. The company did not face any such uncontrollable event since its inception & is confi dent to have alternate arrangement at shorter notice.
10.4 Price Escalation RiskRaw material prices also exposed to risk due to volatility of currencies in the international market. During 2008 major raw materials of gress porcellanato tiles increased by about 20% and sanitary ware material price increased by about 10%, which are signifi cantly infl uenced by crude oil prices having bearing on prices of freight in international market. The rise in input prices may be compensated either by increasing the selling price or by substituting the costlier raw materials with economical alternatives or with various ceramics recipes mix combination without compromising the quality. The research & development activity at group level plays consistent role in such activities. Effective material substitution eliminates the need for increasing the selling price. For last two years, the company has not increased selling price of its products.

10.5 Slow Moving of Inventory Risk
RAKCBL is, to some extent, exposed to risk of piling up of inventory, itself being an inevitable feature of ceramic industry across the globe. Although entire production is backed up by customer order, there is a market factor that the specifi c lot supplied to given customer needs to be of same shade & caliber. Since the basic inputs are natural clay & kaolin, having impact of atmospheric conditions, the shade of the output varies from lot to lot. In order to attain the objective of same shade for given lot, slightly higher quantity of ‘A’ class tiles or sanitary wares is normally produced and only required quantity is delivered to the customer. Remaining quantity remains in the stock till the time it gets customer order. Such small quantities are either consumed in production of decors, designs, skirting or they are sold at discounted prices. While the industry norm is inventory of 30 days in hand, RAKCBL has inventory level of 15 days of production in both tiles and sanitary wares.
10.6 Investment Risk
RAKCBL has already investment in some other diversifi ed projects and contemplating more investment in other new projects. The company has so far invested Tk.363.71 million and proposed to invest in some other projects. Among the investments only RAK Security and RAK Power are already in operation and RAK Pharma has just started commercial production in July’09. RAK Power is established to provide electricity to RAKCBL, and in future any residual capacity can be utilized to other nearby industries. Pharmaceutical industry has endless demands from retail market. Although, there is stiff competition with established market players in a matured industry, RAKCBL is set to build up strong distribution network in the whole country.
10.7 Revenue Collection RiskRAKCBL has a policy to sale on 45 days credit against bank guarantee. Dealers are required to submit bank guarantees against respective credit limit. Under the above, CRISL does not foresee any kind of risk regarding receivable collection and in reality the company has no bad debt or provision for doubtful debt.
10.8 Environmental Compliance RiskRAK Ceramics is committed in promoting sustainable developments while doing global businesses without compromising the protection and preservation of the environment for the future generation. The organization will carry out all its business activities towards the fulfi llment of customer satisfaction on the quality of products and services and ensuring safe

RAKCBL is a highly profi table company although profi tability indicators depicts single digit slide in last year. Profi t after tax of the company stood at Tk. 286.40 million in FY2008 against Tk. 302.57 million in FY2007 indicating a decline in net profi t by 5.35%. The reason for such decline is the increased cost of sales by over 5.75% to sales as compared to the previous years. The increased costs of the goods are attributed to high raw material prices, foreign currency volatility in 2008 (USD, Euro, GBP),In case of Euro, market has seen volatility of 28.4% (high-1.5991 & low-1.2453 against USD), GBP volatility recorded at 41.8% (high-2.0335 & low-1.4392 against USD), and as over 70% of raw materials & consumables are sourced from outside countries related impact on imported raw materials has contributed to increased cost of sales. Also volatility of crude oil prices in range of $37.71/ barrel to $145.29/barrel has impacted international freight cost matrix of import dependent company like RAKCBL. Besides the increased costs of goods sold; the administrative and marketing expenses are in tandem with increased turnover and the interest expense of the company increased due to lending rates volatility in international and local money market which has contributed to slide in net profi t of the company. The net profi t during fi rst half of 2009 amounted to Tk. 142.46 million against Tk.136.32 million in fi rst half of 2008. Though growth in turnover was appreciable (39.08%), the gross profi t margin declined to 28.72% in FY2008 from 34.47% in FY2007 as a result of higher growth of COGS (51.29%) compared to sales. High currency & international oil price fl uctuations have contributed to increase of raw material cost in international market (on an average 20%), increased freight charge has contributed to higher cost of goods sold.
